The 2023 grantees received a total of $1.2 million. They included museums, public television stations, libraries and other nonprofits, and promoted the many benefits that diversity brings to society.
To be eligible to apply for grants, non-profits with 501(c)3 status must have programs that align with the mission of the Foundation and be based in one of seven areas where Nissan has a significant operational presence: Atlanta metro, Central Mississippi, Dallas/Ft.

Consideration will be given to projects that occur between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.
“The Nissan Foundation makes a difference by supporting creative and engaging non-profit organizations that strive to enrich lives and increase understanding in communities where Nissan operates, and where our employees live and raise their families,” said Ali Tonn, executive director of the Nissan Foundation. “We encourage submission of Letters of Intent for initiatives, programs, events and experiences that value diversity, educate and enlighten audiences, and motivate cultural awareness and change.”
